RICHARD IL. SYLVESTER. Editor
WASHINGTON, SEPT. 8, 1887
AN OLD HoAnrN NEW HANDS.

Mr. c. p. Huntington says that the
Baltimore and Ohio deal Is n good
thing, because It will make stocks
active.
What Is popular among the bulls OF
Wall street Is therefore ,u be counted
q public beneiAgi.au
1t seems to un outsider however, as
IL the genetal public had the larger-
decidedly a maiNi'F-ip'grc.t in this
trade; and until it yau he shoSH that
the practical surr,nler or 'Ar ioad to u
powerful rival, whereby ull possibility
of competition between Washington.
Baltimore, PhDmd,lphta md New
York, is extiugui,hed i,r AN Indefinite
period, means Increased facilities aud
cheaper rates TO Iuc pnpla we must
demur TO the Wal street Wow of tn
matter.
II may he some cons.laion to our
Baltimore friends to know that that city
holds 80 500 shares Of B aud o. stock,
the Johns Hopkins Trust 15,OJ) shares,
and the State Of Maryland also $1,000
shares, which promiagu, Bnltimoreau
isquoted as saying fought to thwart auy
designs Of The syndicate adverse to
Baltimore; but the grim fact remains
that these holdings had no voice In the
late negotiations and were powerlcss to
prevent the mortgage or sale or capture,
OF whatever 1t Is called, of old John
CARROTS great road.
The negotiations may all be for the
best. They will undoubtedly help the
road out of its financial difficulties
leave Mr.. Robert Garrett In easy cir
Cumstances, and, as we all fervently
trust, necessitate much needed improve
ments In the immediate vicinity of the
National Capital. The stock may drop
TO par and take fresh start, but Its
prospective value will be enhanced and
no dividends will be passed. The
property as whole Is unquestionably
bettered by being relieved of burden
some liens aud bad management.
Yet We are still inclined TO look
with suspicion upon any movement
that places the people more at the
mercy of single corporation.
Members of the syndicate insist that
the management will be independent
and that the Pennsylvania has no hand
In the contract, but the very terms Of
the negotiation preclude its independ-
ent operation 10 certain extent and
subordinate 1t to interests which want
nothing 50 much MS an absolute monop.
oily of the important transportation
that in one direction passes into New
York over the Pennsylvania lines aud
In another over the New York Cen
tral.
1t is possibly blessing in disguise.
